O'Kcnski (R-Wis.) said Sat. urday that Henry J. Kaiser had refuted all the charges the Con gressman made against the In dustrialist last May 21. O'Konski had accused Kaiser of "swindling the government out of millions of dollars a year" end that he got defense orders for his firms "simply by placing his own key men in proper departments of the gov-ernment." The two men conferred for two hours Saturday and O'Kon ski later said: "Mr. Kaiser discussed with me the charges I made, He refuted them one by one. I told him if his statements were true I would be glad to insert in the (Con gressional) Record that the in formation given me was false." Kaiser, in turn, Issued a state ment, approved by the congress- man, in which he said O'Konski "Expressed great regret that he had not checked the accuracy of the charges before he made them, und he expressed willing ness to repudiate the false charges.' In relation to one of his Lcharges, O'Konski said he had learned it was not Kaiser a fault that he hadn't delivered any cargo planes to -the Air Force under his arrangement with the Fairchild Engine and Airplane corporation.

Many New Produck From Douglas Fir Bark Are Foreseen Corvallis Since 1947 the Ore gon Forest Products Laboratory, operated by the Oregon Board of Forestry in conjunction with the Oregon State college, has been engaged in a research project that will soon begin paying divi dends and may mean a new multimillion dollar Industry for the West Coast. The raw material will be mil lions of tons of Douglas fir bark, now being burned or dumped as waste, each year. The new products produced from it will include enough vegetable tannins to sup ply the entire American leather industry, enough waxes to free the nation from most foreign supplies and valuable chemicals to fight diseases and protect food stuffs from spoilage. Efficient production processes nave been developed by the lab oratory and it is reported seven major companies have made formal application for licenses to use them. After determining the chem ical content of the bark, the next step wa to evaluate its compon ent parts and devise means of economically product ng the products. It was discovered that a ton of dry sawmill bark would yield about 200 pounds of tannin, 150 pounds of waxes and 100 pounds of a white, tasteless crystalline compound which was identified as dihydroquercitin. Collaborat ing with other laboratories, it was discovered the latter could be used directly or in a slightly modified form as an antioxidant to keep butter, lard and other natural fats from turning rancid. It could also be turned into syn thetic vanillin and used as a new and abundant source of rustin, the so-called Vitamin P. Waxes from the bark are equal in .quality to beeswax, which the United States imports in large quantities each year, and, by chemically changing Douglas fir wax, it is possible to produce carnauba wax, used in making candles, which now must be imported and which is in short supply. Douglas fir wax can be put up in proper solutions for use in quickdrying and self-polishing liquid waxes and polishes, and it is now being tested for use in cosmetics. Sunday.
